13 Beauty Treatments That Are Worth the Money

Sometimes, you initially have to spend a little extra money (or time) to achieve #wokeuplikethis for real

Eyelash Extensions for Long, Fluttery LashesCost: $150 to $200, $50 for touchups Lasts: 2 to 3 weeks Who should do it: Women with sparse, straight lashes, those who can't stand mascara or anyone with a special event coming up, like a wedding.

Why you should get it: Sometimes, no matter how much mascara you wear or how many curling techniques you try, your stubborn lashes remain puny and pathetic. With lash extensions, you'll wake up in the morning with the most amazing curl, volume and length of your life -- and you can go sans mascara for weeks. Because the lashes also define your lash line, you can often skip wearing eye makeup altogether -- a major time-saver.

Big bonus: They look real. Since the extensions are applied to each individual lash, they look more natural than falsies, says Sabrina Sasson, owner of WinxBeautique, a lash spa in Los Angeles.

Know before you go: Since the extensions are glued onto your own lashes, when they fall out, some of your own lashes may fall out with them. So when you stop getting extensions you might end up with stumpier lashes than when you started.

Also, if you tend to sleep on one side more than the other, the side that rubs against your pillow will lose lashes more quickly. And while no mascara can compare to eyelash extensions, the required touchups do add up. Assume an annual cost of roughly $1,000.

I have had my hair done with the Japenese straightening system for 3 1/2 years now. Touch ups every year. I once had kinky, curly, unruly hair. The treatment changed my life. The headache of the tangles, gels, mousses and gels are gone. I also just started doing lash extensions. LOVE them. I have had them since June 12', and I can't live without them now! Two huge time savers. I can now actually spend the day not worrying about myself. And spend it with my two babies :)

I had my hair chemically straightened in Vietnam and while it was hard on my hair, it was so nice just being able to let my hair air dry and have it be pin straight! Not having to flat iron and blow dry my hair was really convenient and also good for my hair. Eyelash extensions seem expensive and like they'd look bad once they started wearing off... Revitalash has made my lashes crazy long, lasts longer and is less expensive.

Fillers are great at first, but you can become a slave to them. You also have to use the right one for the job. Tattooed makeup scares me, even as a person with permanent body art. It's your face, and what if they mess up?

interesting ideas. DEFINITELY dont think ANOYONE should get their make up tatooed onto their face. not a good idea at all. if it goes wrong you are stuck with it forever. plus it looks fake and everyone who sees you will know that you got it done.... just not a good idea at all. guys like the natural look better anyways.
